Although hair transplantation is a common and safe procedure in most cases, some complications and risks may sometimes arise. In this article, we will discuss the most important of these risks and the appropriate ways to deal with them:
- Bleeding and swelling:
- Slight bleeding or swelling may occur in the operation area immediately after surgery.
These symptoms are controlled by the use of compressive bandages and analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications.
- Infections:
- In some cases, infections may occur in the operation area as a result of bacterial infection.
These infections are treated by taking antibiotics prescribed by the doctor.
- Temporary hair loss:
- As we mentioned previously, it is normal for the transplanted hair to fall out temporarily after the procedure.
This temporary loss is a sign of new, healthy hair growth.
- Scars or changes in skin color:
- In some cases, scars or changes in skin color may appear in the transplanted area.
This problem is rare and is treated using topical treatments.
- Patient dissatisfaction with the result:
- In some rare cases, the patient may not be satisfied with the final result of the operation.
- These cases are dealt with by carefully evaluating the problem and the possibility of performing an additional operation if necessary.
It is very important to choose an experienced and highly qualified hair transplant doctor to reduce the possibility of these complications. The patient must also fully adhere to the doctor’s instructions before and after the operation.
